Goals

The goal of the ArgoUML project is to build an object oriented design tool that is:

• a joy to use
• actually helpful to designers when they are making design decisions, by offering cognitive support through critics
• completely open source Java (FreeBSD license)
• supporting everything in UML
• modular and extensible
• integrated with the web and other Tigris tools.

You can also read the Project Vision and read the list of features to learn more about what ArgoUML is capable of already.

Static checks

• Reports from our nightly build:
  • JUnit report
  • Checkstyle result
  • Findbugs analysis report
  • Language status (property file internationalization)
• Ohloh analysis

Tools

Tools to use while developing ArgoUML:

Academic papers and research projects

• ArgoUML Publications is a list of all books, papers and articles featuring ArgoUML.
• Jason Robbins dissertation about ArgoUML. This dissertation created the fundamental layer for ArgoUML. It is still a good read to get an understanding of the essential designs of ArgoUML.
• Tiziana Allegrinis dissertation (in PDF) contains an overview over the architecture of ArgoUML and deals with generating code from state chart diagrams.
